This 19th-century design for an ewer, held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a detailed sketch of a ruby-red glass ewer with a bulbous body, a tall, slender neck, and a circular, fluted base. The ewer is covered in a pattern of diamond-shaped facets, reflecting the popular cut-glass techniques of the era. This design, attributed to an anonymous artist, showcases the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of 19th-century glasswork.
